GMOs are more likely to be good news for allergy sufferers than bad.
Unless you have some really rare allergy to a currently unknown allergen, then you don't have anything to worry about. We'll, at least no more to worry about from GMO than any hybrid.

1. Allergies. If I am allergic to, for example, corn, and a corn gene is used to modify strawberries which I dearly love does this not put me at risk for an allergic reaction if I eat them?
Allergies is a common concern in the public regarding GMOs. However, there has never been an allergic reaction to an approved GMO. As part of the approval process, they screen for proteins that are potentially allergenic and toxic. Most food allergens are proteins, and proteins that can cause allergies tend to have amino acid sequences in common. These sequences may allow the protein to survive digestion in the stomach, for example, so that it is intact enough to cause an allergy.
There have been allergic reactions to hybrids, however. If anything, GMOs are safer because they are so carefully screened. Scientists are also working on using GM technology to make food that are allergenic, like peanuts, less so.
Oh, and the article you responded to was fake.

LOL - I guess "thousands of peer reviewed articles" don't mean jack**** when they're ghost written by the damn company who is selling the product. Same company then parades around "authorities" on the matter who are nothing more than paid schills to go and pump their fake science into the mass media and people repeat it as gospel. Sad. Yet people want to dismiss actual, real, moral scientists as "conspiracy theorists," citing freakin SNOPES in the process, for identifying that glyphosate is the most toxic chemical on this planet.
Keep beating that drum oh holy defenders of profitscience. I'll take the words of real scientists, who look into BIOCHEMISTRY and not manipulation of statistics to prove whether this chemical is safe for human consumption, or further - justifiable to blanket the entire planet with. Yes, glyphosate is now in over 80% of rain water. It's water soluble. But hey, they fed the world, right?

No, it was purchased by Bayer, whose stock has consequently tumbled in the last week....

There's a special place for hell for the board members of Monsanto. I'd like to see each of them drink a pint of glyphosate and tell us it's safe.
